Very much doubt I'm the only one starting to pick up bits and pieces for the new season. Thought a thread would be handy to pass a few bargains on and maybe put in requests.

Was in TK Maxx Carrickmines yesterday and picked up two pairs of smartwool merino socks for €9.99 each, currently on snow and rock for £21 a pair . Also saw a pair of ladies Spyder goretex gloves for €17 which seemed crazy cheap.

I'm on the look out for a new pair of gloves. Don't have to be super warm but must have good waterproofing.

Was just in there, on Stephen's green, didn't see any. Couldn't see accessories like goggles either.

I was in delivering training at Great Outdoors last night, all of their stock from last year is 50% off!! Skies for €230 and great deals on Boots

Afterlight · 05-11-2014 5:16pm

Does anyone know what days Tk maxx get their deliveries on? I've only ever been to the dundrum, Stephens green and carrickmines store but have heard that the blanchardstown one is actually the best, what does everyone think of this?

Its hit and miss I have had my best luck in Stephens Green but thats likely because I work nearby and can go in daily in necessary. Id be reasonably regular in Blanch and they normally have what ever is in Stephens Green. They do tend to have 2 or more rails versus Stephens Green which generally has one maybe 2.

You have to do the research on what ever is there, the Sypder stuff ATM looks like its the cheaper end of their range. 2 years ago they were out the door with Goldwin jackets and I had never heard of them but turned out to be a decent (and incredibly expensive) brand.

CardinalJ · 06-11-2014 12:00am

Yea the spider gear doesn't seem up to much in there at the moment.

Dr Nic · 08-11-2014 9:24pm

Pair of oakley goretex large trousers in tk maxx Limerick for 130. Seems a bargain to me

dylbert · 10-11-2014 5:33pm

TK maxx Swords have DC Shoe snowboard boots from €40, sizes 7, 7.5, 9 and 10.

lbj666 · 10-11-2014 6:14pm

North Face store in Kildare has Hyvent ski/snowboard pants for €33 at the moment, large and xl sizes though.

150 to 300 depending on model. Worth a look if you currently rent even if last years model and you only go once a year. In fact that's cheaper then renting and they'll fit with no blisters.

Dr Nic · 12-11-2014 9:28pm

Saw those & tempted. Ive 3 hols planned this yr. 2 with ucpa which has gear incl but one in San anton where we'll have to rent and thats pricey enough so might go buy my own pair. The big problem is if they break.... Cant decide...

Renting in StAnton is eye watering!!!! Buy them

Dr Nic · 12-11-2014 10:13pm

Weve actually found really cheap rental in pettneu about a 5 min drive from san anton. And were driving down from munich so maybe thats a good idea. a board for 6 days for 30eur. 90 cheaper than intersport. Good idea/bad idea? What you think fattes?

Average lifespan of Boots 5 years! Do the maths

only if they are right though

Dr Nic · 12-11-2014 10:27pm

Cheers dude... Know anything about pettneu in san anton? about 5k away. would we be mad renting from a place that 5k outside the village?

CardinalJ · 13-11-2014 12:14am

Do you have an easy way of getting there if the gear is bad and you have to change?

Heading to St Anton in Jan. Have all my own gear but we're going to Crystal who are giving 2/1 rental…. almost brings it back to normal prices. :eek::eek:

Dr Nic · 13-11-2014 12:16am

Well have a rental car prob focus estate

fmlarnapairce · 13-11-2014 4:10pm

if you decide to change gear etc then it'll be a pain, otherwise seems like a good idea to me, especially if you have the estate. never skied in pettneu (st anton a few times) but seems they have a few runs there so you could in theory try the gear out there after renting it

If you have a car No, makes sense even if you drove 4 times a day you would be still saving

Never been in the resort but have driven through it a few times! So not much help sorry mate

CardinalJ · 13-11-2014 8:09pm
